My amiga conclusion: I could live like this

[Khephren]

Yeah, a lot of my D&D crowd went onto WOW. Those who just liked bashing things mainly!
I guess they liked the roll rather than playing the role, if you know what I mean.

Played rifts a few times as well, Paladium wasn't it? They did robotech as well, which was ace.

Yeah, iv'e got a deity and demigods source book with cthulhu mythos stuff in it -they had to take it out for later editions.

These days we tend to do miniatures wargames more, as it takes less people, and doesn't generally expect a regular schedule.

Looks like this Friday we might be playing the old Star Wars game from WEG though

That's why we do a lot of board games.
most of us gave up miniature wargaming as a money pit.
recently it's started creeping back in. We started playing space crusade, then spacehulk (the new version), then adding some other 40k miniatures, then extra scenary...you can see where this will end

I think in the end though, we will settle for space crusade with extra rules (snap fire, cover, prone etc). mainly from here:

but with some worldworks scenery.

I'd also like to do some sort of Advanced Wars boardgame using germy's 2mm range, they are very cute.  http://www.germy.co.uk/wargaming.html

we do 15mm ww2 and scifi, so the cost isnt too bad. (4 bucks for a pack of 8 figures). I used to mess with Rules Crusade quite a bit. Very cool little game

I actually have a set of rules I wrote myself. In case you are interested, you can find 'em at http://www.freewebs.com/weaselfierce
